Barbados Tridents vs Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel, Match 5

That's all we have for you from here. Do join us again tomorrow, until then good bye....

Pollard: I thank god for giving us the opportunity to play in front of the fans. It was tense when we lost too many wickets at the top, but it's good that we managed to win in the end. I also wanted to bat first, but Shakib bowled brilliantly. This is a special day for me as just before the match my wife delivered a baby girl.

Bravo: We didn't assess the wicket properly. 120 would have been a good total, but after you lose too many wickets at the top you can't really recover. Edwards is one of the best bowlers in the world and Benn also bowled well, but we didn't have too many runs on the board.

Shakib: I wanted to bowl in the right areas as the wicket was helping the spinners a bit. The atmosphere here in West Indies is amazing and we would like to reach the semis.

Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the Match for his spell of 6/6.

A convincing win in the end for Barbados. Chasing a paltry total of 53, they got off to a great start and got 20 runs off the 1st over, but what followed after that was interesting. They lost wickets in a heap and getting to 53 at that stage looked difficult. Fidel excelled with the ball with a five-wicket haul, but he didn't have enough runs on the board. This is Barbados's last match at their home ground and all the players are taking a walk around the ground thanking the fans.
